PM ‘hiding’ behind Ethics Commissioner on SNC affair, opposition says GlobePolitics
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is counting on the Ethics Commissioner to get to the bottom of the SNC-Lavalin affair, but opposition politicians argue that the watchdog does not have the authority to examine some of the most important questions in the matter.
On Feb. 11, Mr. Dion announced an investigation under the section of the Conflict of Interest Act, which prohibits a public-office holder from “seeking to influence a decision of another person so as to improperly further another person’s private interests.” Asked whether he would call a judicial inquiry if his party forms the next government, Mr. Scheer said that would be an option. For now, the Conservatives want the RCMP to investigate and the justice committee to call additional witnesses.
